We went there to see them last year, and I got some decent shots of them that we printed and gave to them a few weeks later...good job on these!

The Lipizzaner is awesome. I try to see them every year when they show, in this area. The show is in an arena and the lighting leaves a lot to be desired. It would be wonderful to get to see them do an outdoor show. Each authentic Lipizzaner wears a brand (the Crest that shows his bloodlines.. lineage.) But, one year, they had included an Arabian in training. He was awesome, as well. He did one of the hardest movements where the horse is taught to fly through the air. He did it perfectly. BTW, the Arabian was a Bay and he really stood out among all the White.
Thanks for posting your photos. I really like the portrait, very nice.

And a special thanks to George Patton, were it not for him they probably would have wound up as rations for Russian troops.
